First Wash in 42 Years! Ford F-250 Only 139 Original Miles. Barn Find. Insane Story
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2024
- This is a 1978 Ford F-250 Lariat edition that is receiving its first wash in 42 years after sitting in a barn in North Carolina. This Ford truck has 139 original and has been lost on a farm for 42 years after 1 quick drive in later 1978. By disaster detail standards, this is brand new. Untouched. The owner drove it once to drive his daughter to work in the snow...then put it back in the barn. The F-250 is the lowest miles Ford Pickup Truck in the world. I performed a "preservation detail" to keep the condition authentic to the day it was picked up from the dealership. After a proper car wash and light polish, I added AMMO Skin paint sealant instead of a paint coating (AMMO Reflex Pro) to allow the new owner flexibility in how they choose to protect the paint in the future. The before and after is wildly satisfying and the final result is amazing. For a full list of products visit www.ammonyc.com. Thx for watching! -L

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is one of the greatest series on TH-cam. Keep it up Larry 👊
Wholesome, satisfying, history, educational and entertaining. Whats not to love :3
💯💯💯
I just told myself this was probably the best episode I’ve seen so far
Series like these spark a lot of imagination over here in my little European farmhouse. I was always drawn to the US car culture and the vastness of the country. And this episode just hits the mark, because one day I will take a plane, rent a car and drive around the great country looking for something to buy and bring home.
You shouldn't wash a barn find they're worth more with the original dirt on them.
Can we take a moment to give props to the old man who didn't just keep it in a barn until it flat fell apart into a pile of crap...... Kudos to him for getting this thing into good hands and saved when it needed it, and taking proper care of it while he had it.
It is really surprising that the mice didn't tear it apart - the old guy must have a few cats on the property
These kind of finds are awesome, but the old man bought a truck to just never drive it? Something definitely wrong between the ears.
….after 41 years of sitting lol
@@Christoph-sd3zi The truck had cat prints on it, so probably yeah.
Agreed. I hope he was well compensated for this spectacular truck.
I worked in Ford parts departments from 1978-1986. The "D9TA" prefix on the muffler part number designates it as a 1979 part. It's quite possible that some change occurred (during the 1978 truck production) to the muffler's design, materials or location of manufacture that required a new part number. Also, I may be wrong on this, but the 1978 and 1979 models had basically the single opening grille but rectangular headlamps came on the 1979 model. Not sure about that. If the truck was built in March then it was probably pretty close to one of the last 1978 models built before producing 1979 models. I remember selling many parts for Ford pickups and this one really takes me back to those days. It's so cool to see one preserved in original form!
They must have been switching over in 78 to the 79 front end. I'm almost sure that there were still split grills and round headlights still in 78. I didn't think the pull out gas cap door started in 78 though. Love that truck !
And the muffler most likely a 5230?? Im glad we speak the same language! I currently work in Ford parts
Awesome
Higher level trim 1978's had Square Headlights too, I didn't know that for a long time
@@jdpinbaytown Its a crazy world !
These classic trucks just look so damn cozy and reliable and encouraging. They’re not aggressive. They’re not huge. They’re just a nice honest truck and I love that about them.
youre describing my wife. except the honest part.
I love this older guy. Absolute unit of a man. You can tell he’s been chugging away at life staying active and living well. Encouraging to see
hands like bunches of bananas!
This actually was a little sad to watch for me. This is my dream car. I loved the way the Ford trucks looked back then, but what really hit me was when you had a question about the manufacturing process. My grandfather worked at the Detroit Ford plant for decades, he would have known but we just had his memorial service last month. Missed the chance to ask him about something as cool as this by a few months.
I am sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss 🙏
💔👊🏾
I'm sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear about your loss. Your grandfather would be proud to know that you share this same passion.
Some would fail to appreciate how rare of an opportunity that must have been. LOWEST mileage 1978 F-250?!?! In the WORLD?!?! That is just insane. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode!! Keep up the great work!!!
That's a real truck right there,love them old Fords
Still better truck than any truck built today, sometimes less is way more. I’m a GM guy and would love to own that.
Nice job!
I worked for Ford between 1967-1997 in the Atlanta assembly plant. The 868 # probably was the line sequence #. Starting with 1 every day. Most likely on 2 ten hour shifts at the rate of 60-66 vehicles an hour. Meaning it was probably built half way through the second shift.
That truck is absolute platinum. You will NEVER find anything close to it again. The fact that it exists in the state it does, is beyond mind boggling. I would give anything to own it. My first truck was a '73 F250 Camper special with a manual transmission.
I just bought a 1979 Ford F-250 that has 150k miles on it, and I thought I did really well. I love the butter cream yellow on this ‘78.
I love these video’s, nothing more theraputic than seeing these old cars and trucks getting a new lease on life, keep them coming! Excellent content! 👌
Thx for watching! :)
@@AMMO-NYC piiiip
Absolutely amazing one of a kind truck. Just goes to show , "barn finds" are still out there.
Absolutely!!!
They didn’t find this truck in a barn . There’s no dry rot anywhere. The leather looks new and Even the tires are pristine. Not even the first crack from dry rot . Unless this truck was in a humidifier this is all bullshit
NOTHING better than Ford!!! LOVE MY FORDS!
I bought a new 1979 F-100 and this brought back memories
Of all the vehicles you have brought back to life, this was my absolute favorite. Great work, Larry!
i've liked a lot of the super cars hes detailed, but i gotta agree this is top 3, beautiful truck and wonderful man, i could listen to him tell stories all day
Agreed..
Absolutely! Judging by the website this truck is on and the prices of other vehicles, this truck is probably gonna fetch over $100,000. Bananas! This has to be one of the rarest barn finds I've ever seen.
There's a Bronco on that site with 81,000 original miles on it and the sticker price is $119,000! How on earth does one let a brand new vehicle just sit like that? I can remember the first brand new vehicle I bought. I was so excited to have purchased it that I put 10,000 miles on it in 6 months taking road trip after road trip.
I can see letting a Ferrari or Bugatti sit with little to no miles for appreciation but a '78 F250!?!? Why?! These trucks were made to be put to work.
I'm also thinking about how much Charlotte has changed since he bought that truck. Pretty amazing how well that truck stayed preserved after all of these years. What and amazing find, and she cleaned up really good! Keep up the great work!
North Iredell/Alexander area where this was purchased and is for sale still has some of its charm, although it’s changed a fair amount as well.
Yea, real craphole now
This reminds me of my Grandfather's truck. All though he was sky blue over dark blue. I got to drive it once many years ago. Unfortunately, a drunk driver rounded the corner and sideswiped all the vehicles parked. His had a camper on the back. It was shoved forward and through the cab. Thank you for saving these wonderful machines.
It’s in beautiful condition. It’s a shame no one is gonna drive this thing any time soon. It deserves to be driven.
Amazing job! I can't believe this truck was out there! That's incredible! I rebuilt my dad's 1977 F-150 XLT from the frame up 25 years ago and this brought back a lot of memories. I sold it to buy my first house when my daughter was born in 2003.
So it's all about you right? (Sarcastic)
Good man. Though sorry you had to give that up.
That a dam nice ford love the old Ford truck
I'm betting your one HECK OF A DAD!!!! Putting family first. Hope you get another truck like this someday.... GOD BLESS YOUR HEART.......
The Fugitive.
Fantastic truck right there. Great work!
Having the original owning talk about the truck like that is priceless, make sure you do more vids like this.
What a stroll down memory lane. Loved my Old 72 Ford Pick-up. Miss that truck to this day.
The nickname for this paint scheme back then was "root beer float". We are disassembling a 1978 Jeep J10 with this same paint scheme. This is an absolutely remarkable specimen. Thanks for sharing.
Fitting name! Definitely now a weekend truck to go out for some root beer floats!
I was kind of hoping y’all would bring the old man back to see his truck brought back to life. The joy of nostalgia from a piece of his youth in its perfect state.. would have been warming to see.
What nostalgia? He only drove it 140 miles in 30 years. Stop it.
@@expatbiker6598 he had it for 40 years, and didn't drive it. he was the original owner, like... you can't even imagine watching a car for 40 years thats yours and not sell it or use it, it's nostalgic, of course it is
Sadly, he died before he could see it restored.
I wonder if it still works. Would have been cool to see them drive it
If he cared he’d have not drove it a couple days and parked it for 40+ years
Such amazing detail. Awesome to see a brand new 1978 pickup in 2022. Wish there was commentary on the degradation in the engine compartment / hoses / lines / wiring, and the negative effects from old fluids.
well, I think we can assume just about anything rubber in contact with a corrosive like with brake fluid will need at least thorough cleaning, and likely new brake lines to be road legal (the old brake fluid often turns a dusgusting powder). Radiatir, block and heads will have to ge checked for corrosion in the galleries, and likely the crap rubber on the sparkplug leads would have cracked. Every old 1960s-1970's car I restored or wrenched on (Rover, Jag, Rolls, some old Vauxhalls (not mine) Land Rovers, Patrols, Landcruisers) were like that. Mercedes were surprisingly good on rubber being inventors of synthetic rubber. I did break a 1950s Benz bakelite distributor cap and boy was replacing it painful. Massive hip pocket hemorrhage. I used to my sons' and friends low cost mechanic, my fees were sixpack of decent local beer per 2 hours or less, 2 hours+ a 6pack an hour, parts their expense or paid off ober a year. Kept all the kids' and their mates in safe, fully dependable, operable cars, I was fastidious about brakes (being a veteran of radial tyres and driving too damn fast). The ones I restored were sold on for sending the youngsters through school, extracurricular activities etc. I generally didn't do bodywork, I had a mate with a full chassis jig in his body shop who'd do it for free for me doing his customers' mechanical work. Squeazy, oily and greasy, but much less pain to hip pocket.
Back when a truck was a truck 👍🏼 I remember my grandpa's new 79 Ford he farmed in. Best trucks ever built in my opinion
I’m shocked the tool box that is in the bed side still exists since all the 78 fords I’ve seen with those tool boxes usually don’t exist by what I call, the miracle of rust
No rust anywhere, Insane!
Our F150's farm pickups always surrendered to rust but those engines kept on keeping on!!👋🙂
Wish I could get my hands on something like that, it’s truly incredible to see anything over 20 years old with less than 200 miles
What’s more incredible is finding it with no dry rot anywhere. Actually it’s not incredible. It’s impossible
@@ClaytonBigsby01 apparently not, mate
I revisit the video often... I own a 77 and a 71.... This truck is by far the finest example of a dentside Ford in existence.
My 74 camper deluxe had the pull out rear bumper that came out about 4 feet to accommodate the big overhead campers and still have rear lights which we're built into it.
It was also perfect hauling lumber up to 16' long.
Ah the good ole days.
I appreciate the cool smooth jazz music in the background!
Super smooth!
I'd take this truck over a new truck any day! Absolutely Beautiful.
I was 14 I remember this truck very well. He did an amazing job that thing looks brand new and it is! Very impressive
I have a 76 F250 4x4 from a man who had it 40 years.
All original
I worked at Ford dealerships in the 70s, 80s.
Love those 70s the best.
This is what true skill, hard work and dedication looks like everyone. Thanks Larry for another incredible story! What a truck!
Thx for the kind words!
@@AMMO-NYC Anyone can definitely see your enthusiasm and dedication at your, job(?)!
I'd rather not call it your "job"! 😂 Rather you think of it as your duty to bring it back to 1978!
Great job, new sub
Always takes me down memory lane to see those old Fords. My first vehicle I bought with my own money was a 1977 F250. Drove it for 22 yrs. Wish I still had it today...Great job on that detail!
I have a sweet spot for old Fords with that color scheme. My daddy owns one. He’s had it for decades. Many more miles than this one, but many more memories as well. I hope one of us gets to inherit it some day. It would be an honor to hopefully keep it as well as this one was.
I love stories like this. Two legends in the same video. Awesome
Amazing find. Inconceivable to me that someone could own this sweet truck and only put 120 or so miles on it.
Sure is, and the man. ever said why he didn’t drive it..
Some people back in the day just were not truck guys!
Cosmetically and historically this is a gem. However it'd be a mechanical and financial nightmare, dried up deteriorated gaskets and seals from everything to the engine...brake system... steering... Transmission. Not to mention a corroded gas tank in need of replacement because it never had newer fluid flushed through it in over 50 years just like oil in the engine. Everything that was near the floor like brake system and suspension would also be rusted and permanently seized together because it was never moved, and it sat there for 50 years absorbing moisture from the floor. There's a reason the creators of this vid don't show this truck running or them attempting to run it, because it couldn't without thousands of $$$$$ thrown at it. You'd be better off to buy a truck in these years which has alot more miles and has been maintained and stored, than something cosmetically preserved like this and mechanically neglected due to a previous owner who was scared to drive his new truck from a 1/2 century earlier.
This is fact, because I know a local car collector who thought buying a 1950s Cadillac with extremely low miles like this would be the ultimate barn find. What he did find was more mechanical problems than all the previous classic cars he ever bought combined. Yet the dumbest part is that these mechanical problems from vehicles not being moved usually involved obsolete not commonly replaced parts that never were available on a wide market even throughout the vehicles heyday, because vehicle parts are supplied by demand, and demand is created by all the consumers with problems because they drive their vehicles.
@@DG-sf9ei nobody is going to buy this to drive it, it’ll end up in a museum or collection anyways
This is the mix or two perfect worlds for me. I’ve been in love with these ‘73-‘79 ford trucks my whole life, I’ve owned several and now I even own a ‘78 that I bought from the original owners with 80,000 miles. Also, I love detailing and have been watching your videos for years, so this video is heaven for me. I would’ve loved to just be there to see this in person. These guys restoring these trucks have my dream job.
And I feel your pain on the glass on these old Ford trucks! It’s a pain for a perfectionist! Lol
Gotta love the old dentsides they are beautiful ol trucks
I'm 62 and I would give both balls to own this truck.
I love this video. It brings allot of nostalgia for me. This was my grand father's truck but in the green paint. It was given to my dad then to my brother. I learned to drive for the 1st time in this truck. Ours is still running using an insane amount of gas even with two tanks. The speedometer flipped I don't know how many times. 😄
So glad I found your channel today. Content like this is so deeply satisfying. Feels so great to watch and learn. Thank you.
OMG I thought I'd never see one of these again!!! When I was 18-19 (a million years ago) I dated a guy who bought this exact truck but it was lifted with gigantic tires on it. I legit could not get in it without being picked up or using a ladder. Because of the color combo I named the truck Big Odie (Odie the dog in the Garfield cartoon). This truck zapped me right back to 1983-84.
That is absolutely incredible! It's just hard to believe someone would let a truck sit like that, but I'm glad he did because now it's a museum piece. I remember back in the '70's, people bought trucks (myself included) for work. Most of them were worked pretty hard, and didn't last very long either. Back then, the quality wasn't all that great and they needed constant repairs and maintenance. My '74 F-100 was no different. You would buy a vehicle new, then take it back a time or two, to sort out all the issues, that was just normal at the time. Then it was just constantly fixing things that broke and leaked, it's just how it was at the time and we really didn't think much about it.
I bought my 79 f100 ford back in 2015, 49,000 original miles, just sitting in this guys driveway for 700$, tuned it up and did the brakes and a new gas tank for 900$ me and my grandpa got it running, when we got it it didn’t even roll, left it parked with e brake on, put 30k miles on it and it now has 80k miles, absolutely zero mechanical issues aside from electric choke and a shift linkage, not bad for a 41 year old truck and a 16 year old driving and fishing out of it for 4 years
My dad always said “Fix Or Repair Daily.” I guess he was a Dodge man
Museums are overrated! Im driving it...then get buried in it!!
THAT'S STUPID@@betha3603
So satisfying to watch that beauty being transformed. Thanks for the lesson on the proper steps and techniques... What a treasure of a find.
Loved the reference of the nose peeled! Gave a good way of understanding just exactly what you’re doing.
I would love to own that vehicle. What a great series. Thank you!!
Yeah well you won’t, so it was pointless to even say.
@@danceyrselfkleen 🤣
Good lord.
call for price........
Problem is what would you do with it? Would you dare to drive it? It's basically a prop
This is amazing. What a wonderful piece of machinery. I can imagine how the value sky rocketed.
At least $ 1million dolar.
I want to drive it
This is my personal favorite video. I love old Ford Trucks and you as always did an awesome job! Please attend to more classic vehicles!
I felt in love with this truck!
Absolutely beautiful!
After being in the car trade for 30+ years, this is the last thing I thought would be interesting but here I am. Great channel guys!
What a beautiful truck. Couldn't help but have a smile on my face the whole time watching this one!
You just earned a subscriber. You can tell he really has passion about his craft. Especially when working on a project like this. Absolutely fantastic job.👍🏼
My favorite generation of F-Series trucks. I wish I had one.
I absolutely love this passionate, detailed and eloquent execution. This is what being a master of your craft looks like.
Wow! That was definitely a beauty, great job you did on it!
Just started watching your videos. And I love how you guys bring older care that have been neglected back to life. I don’t know everything about cars. But I sure do love beautifying mine
My dad is salivating watching this video with me. He has always had Ford trucks and drives Lariat 350 and 250 diesels for the hauling capacity for our farm. Great find! Awesome video!
My jaw dropped before seeing it when it said 139 original miles. That’s incredible. What a story!
I thought he locked himself out of his garage. Who understood his story. All I got was the weather report hahaha and that he was going to pick up his daughter but then he didn't have to. I
think also he wrecked the very pants he was trying to return.
My grandmother was very observant about the weather.
This one was particularly special Larry. Just everything about it.
1 year later and this is just Majestic ! It’s a Unicorn and you took great pride in detailing the truck!
I just started this video. I haven’t watched only but if a couple minutes. I kind of got a feeling that this might be one of the coolest videos I ever see.
This is probably the most interesting, informative You Tube show available today!! Never been interested in cars/trucks, but you guys make “cleaning” a vehicle soooo interesting that I watch episodes over again!! Thanks so much!!
I love this series because of the history of the vehicle and the owners and how Larry approaches each detail differently based on what needs to be accomplished. That's the beauty of the detailing world, it's dynamic in what products you choose, what methods to use and working on just about everything you can get your hands on.
This truck was a ONE-OF-A-KIND FIND!! AMAZING!!
That is one sweet truck. That particular body style of Ford pickup trucks is always been one of my very favorites. 👍
I'm not a big truck guy but seriously how could you not dig that truck? I would absolutely drive that beauty every single day. Just wow.
The wax pen marks were various inspection stations. Those would correspond to a specific person on different shifts at different stations.
Or markings from a junk yard for those parts. it could have been damaged at some point
I'm a 70 year old Ford guy and this blessed me so much. Unbelievable! This is by far the coolest detail I have ever seen on the rarest vehicle find I have ever seen. Hope it goes to a museum for Ford fans (and others who appreciate old stuff) to admire for life of our planet. Fantastic drtailing sir!!!
That was amazing. I don't know the first thing about cars, but to see how beautiful they got this old truck really is something. I was thinking the same thing, that this truck waited 40+ years to get this really good bath.
MAN...OH, MAN!!!...OH, MAN!!!
It was like finding an old roman ship with her cargo SEALED-INTACT!!!
CONGRATS TO YOUR TEAM!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great Description!! 👋🙂
Probably the most satisfying auto detailing videos are from AMMO....wow what a beauty! Let's hope it stays original for another 40+ years. Thank you for such stellar content Larry!
The owner didn't really explain why he never drove it. Anyone know? What a rare find. Very cool video.
This truck is gorgeous and is a survivor. Dentside Ford's are my favorite trucks ever. My dad owns a few of them.
Larry this was an outstanding video! I owned a 79 Ford truck like this that I bought back in 88 from the original owner with 40K miles! It was the same color two tone like this one but the colors were inverted. It was mostly the dark brown, hood, roof etc but the tan in the side panels between the chrome! It was in amazing condition when I bought it and I drove it to work for 20 years until I bought a brand new truck! Strangely enough even after driving it 20 years it still looked great when I sold it. This video sure brought back good memories of a very cool truck!
Awesome!
What a beautiful truck I wish they still built stuff like that now of days simple dependable durable and just a great truck. Came out great nice job.
It's mind blowing how you buy a new vehicle and never drive it! Great story and nice job as always.
Beautiful truck!! Time capsule! Great detail job!
“It wasn’t me, it was the one armed man!” The fugitive of course. Great restoration Larry. I was on the edge of my seat hoping the stickers would stay on the wheels.👍👍
Yep..got the movie right Leigh.
Ah yes, Dr Kimble!
That interior is amazing,, that was a rare interior in 1979..
One thing that was never discussed was WHY he parked it and left it,, why did he spend 8 grand on that thing and then park it with a 139 miles on it ?
My thoughts, exactly. I see so many cool "barn find" articles and videos and rarely do you get any explanation as to why the original owner shelled out so much money and never drove it.
Perhaps he was a forward thinking person, I'm kinda sure it's worth way more than 8 grand now.
@@dsloop3907 that's just dumb why would anyone think thirty cat will be worth more someday
Absolutely The Best I See So Far.
Great Job.
Beautiful Truck.
Surely He is A Investor of ANOTHER Kind...
Beautiful Truck, man that was my dream truck back in the day and after seeing this one I fell in love again. Must be heaven to drive.
I absolutely loved every second of this video! This makes me want to look into more car detailing stuff so I can preserve my 97 Ford F250 better
I love when you detail older cars/trucks. It’s satisfying watching the transformation! Great video!
Most satisfying to view. Great truck and great job with preservation!!!
O.M.G. A great truck.Thanks for saving it.
Love the barn finds
That tool box compartment was honestly revolutionary at the time, and it blew me away to discover that.
My 68 had one ......
Wow! She's a beaut, Clark! So glad to have stumbled upon you.
Just seeing you guys do this to this truck make me really appreiaite you guys even more
sometimes the plain water power wash itself gives us a clear hint of how good the final restoration is going to be ... foam spray & further detailing is an obvious icing over the cake .
Such a pristine machine coming at hands for care after sitting for 40+ years is no less than a miracle.
Another awesome vid Larry ... loved it 👍
I have a soft spot for the 70s era pickups and this one is a beauty! Great video 👍
Love These older trucks and have been driving them since they first came out and still my favorites today! Simple practice and always Kewl! I have Bumpside trucks, yet have also had dent sides as well. My Daily is a super clean survivor, 70 sport custom camper special with all the options. 74 years young here and the truck is a constant reminder if how easy life was back in the day! Thanks for the Video
very very cool. i’m not a mechanic or even a car guy but i certainly can appreciate something as rare as this 78 lariat. it’s interesting that it’s an F250 and also has Ranger in the title. great work on this truck 🤙
I am truly amazed that this truck didn't have rat nests inside and seats all chewed up. Also that the tires weren't completely dry rotted. Beautiful time capsule of a truck - love it!
Those tires would likely wear extremely fast though, even if they're not dry rotted, old tires tend to degrade quickly once put to use.
Tires have been replaced.They would have rot on them.
@@keithhatch56 original tires man. They have the sticker on them
I'm not a Ford guy, but this is a great looking truck.
I talked to my brother about going and buying a brand new pickup, towing it home and storing it so my son's grandkids can sell it off. Lol
Loved this episode. Thanks so much, Ted
The '66 Galaxie 500 hubcaps look pretty good on the '78. The bench seats in the 73-79 Lariats were unbelievably comfortable and durable, as were the trucks as well. Shame on me for selling my factory special order 1974.
